Seedlings

Oh my goodness Alex, there are so many of them, your poor knees after you get this lot planted up, my. you have been so busy, well done,

LOL....but it's going to feel fantastic when I finish!!!
There are more...
Have you sown your Mandevilla seeds yet? Any sign of germination?

sown them, not showing yet will let you know when they do, I can't wait to see your photos later when all these seeds have been planted.

Fantastic ! My goodness I can't believe how many you have there. What a lovely show Alex. Hope they all survive for you.

I can't wait to see them all in bloom!!! I have a few perennials already planted but only my Anemones are in flower and there are two different colors on one plant!!! (I think) Need to take a pic as soon as it stops raining.

Thanks Cinderella....they better all survive for me...hard work planting all those seedling individually. ;o)

Alex wonderfoul selection ,wont be long before you will be doing the hotels flora for them.

lol...
No time for that Brian. First I must acquire every plant that I want...that might take some time.

You've been very busy, Alex! Are those Sweet Peas in the 'newspaper pots' ? : o )

all doing well Alex, well done, your going to have some lovely plants soon ;o)

They're doing very well - going to be great - you have so many to look after - patient and rewarding work

Wow... lots :o)))

Shirley, yes they are sweet peas in the newspaper pots "Cupani"and "Black Night"
The others are:
Mountain cornflower
Passiflora actinia
Belamcanda chinensis
Butterfly flower
Platycodon Blue
Pennie Black
Cosmos
Dahlia
Hollyhock
Evening Primrose
Prunella
I think that's all of them

Thanks Sanbaz, I can't wait to see them all in bloom.

Thanks Paul, there is more to come!!!

I'm smiling Tt.

You are doing well with all those seedlings already. It reminds me of the first time i grew seeds.I had millions. I completely missed the fact that if there were 150 seeds in a packet and I sowed all of them I would have 150 plants. I used lots of packets. I hope your weather is good enough to plant out soon as they look ready to go. Well done. I have been a bit busy but will get around to making your cake soon.

I've sown 'Cupani' Sweet Peas too, Alex, they're a lovely two-tone mauve/lilac aren't they? I shall need to find out what Butterfly flower is! : o )

Scotsgran,
It seems I went down the same road as you!!! ;o)
Those in the picture are the ones I am keeping....I have others that I have saves for family and friends. We usually plant our seedlings out in April, unless Mother Nature decides to play games with me...
Wait a little longer on the cake Scotsgran, I'm on a diet!!!
Another reason I bought so many is that most of them are not available here as plants.

Shirley,
Besides having a beautiful color, I went for "Cupani" because it is suppose to be very fragrant!!!
The same goes for "Black Night".
Butterly flower is also called "Poor Man's Orchid" hope that helps.

You have a lovely lot growing there. I wasn't going to sew any seeds this year, but after seeing yours I am changing my mind lol. Good luck ! I hope you'll show photos of them all in bloom soon :))

'Cupani' are very fragrant, Alex, not a tall variety, perfect for a small vase in the house!

Alexandramc, do you live along the coast or beach? Just wandering as I do and about to start a garden.

Sixpence...I live very near the beach. The only trouble I have is with certain fruit trees, everything else grows fine. How close to the beach is your house?

Thanks for the response.

Unfortunately, I cannot provide you with the distance in metres but it is approximately, three minutes from the shoreline. I do experience a heavy sea spray at high tide and we have a heavy salt content along the coastline.

I think I live a little closer to the sea. Your garden will be fine then.

Thanks, Alexandramou.

a superb sight indeed. Love sowing & watching seedlings grow.

Thanks Bamby...they are all nice size plants now. I have discovered that there are a few I don't like!!!

bravo alex

Sending you PM.

Hi,

Could you please tell me how to grow up Rothmannia? Did you put seeds into a fridge? How long does it germinate? Which kind of soil?

Another matter: do you know how to grow up Baumontia out of the seed?

Regards,
Ewa
